Lockerbie bomber living in luxury villa six months after being at 'death's door'

The man convicted of the Lockerbie bombing is living with his family in a luxury villa in Libya six months after he was released from jail on compassionate grounds because he had less than three months to live.

Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed al-Megrahi, who is suffering from terminal prostate cancer, no longer receives hospital treatment after ending the course of chemotherapy that he had been given after returning to his homeland last August.
Professor Karol Sikora, the London-based doctor who examined Megrahi and predicted he would be dead by last October, admitted this weekend that the fact the bomber is still alive might be "difficult" for the families of the 270 victims of the attack.

Maybe Cancer Centers of America has decided to go International and open a clinic in Libya.

Is it possible that Libya has a better health care system than England? If he was given Chemo after returning to Libya than the estimate of three months was bogus.
Put Professor Karol Sikora, the London-based doctor, in jail until Abdelbaset Ali Mohamed al-Megrahi dies.

[Tom]

You don't put them on trial and you don't put the min jail. You squeeze all the intel you can from them then kill them.

[horses4courses]

This whole episode with the release of the Lockerbie bomber can't be seen as anything but a total disgrace......

I felt it at the time of the release, and it feels a whole lot worse each day that scumbag is alive.

:mad: :mad: :mad:

Why don't they just admit that they are lying bastards...........

Doctor: 'Dying' Lockerbie bomber may live 10 years
'Embarrassing that he's gone on so long,' says expert who gave 3-month prognosis

LONDON — A doctor who said the man convicted of the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 had only three months to live now says the Libyan could survive another 10 years, London's Sunday Times reported.
Abdel Baset al-Megrahi, who was convicted of 270 counts of murder for being behind the 1988 bombing over Lockerbie, Scotland, was released on compassionate grounds in 2009, after doctors said he only had a few months to live.

Specialist Karol Sikora told the newspaper it was "embarrassing" that al-Megrahi, who has prostate cancer and received a hero's welcome upon his return to Libya, had managed to outlive the prognosis.
The report is sure to re-ignite accusations that Scottish authorities bowed to pressure from Libya and the British government to release al-Megrahi, who American officials accuse of being an officer of the Libyan intelligence service.

"There is always a chance that he would live for 10 years ... but it's very unusual," Sikora told the Times.

"There was a 50 percent chance that he would die in three months," he added, "but there was also a 50 percent chance that he would live longer."
While at the time of his release the Scottish government sited "firm consensus" among medical experts over al-Megrahi's condition, that agreement does not appear to exist, according to the newspaper.

put the doctor in his cell...release him when he dies..

What do you expect from people who play bagpipes?

;) [QUOTE=Robert Goren]What do you expect from people who play bagpipes?

Quite a bit actually ;)

[horses4courses]

With all the upheaval and chaos going on in Libya right now, what are the chances of smuggling this scumbag out of his homeland, and holding a little reception for him over here???

Let him live out his last few months (or years...or decades) where he belongs.

BEHIND BARS!!!!!

[Tom]

Behind bars?
Naw, how about tucked away in a secret location where he is used a "training dummy" for future interogators?

[cj's dad]

Maybe Cancer Centers of America has decided to go International and open a clinic in Libya.

A "joke" in really poor taste Bobby.

[HUSKER55]

why not just make him a casualty of war?

[PhantomOnTour]

why not just make him a casualty of war?
I was about to post something similar. With all the confusion in Libya can't he mysteriously disappear?

[Tom]

Why mysteriously?
Put him live on TV and blow him to bits with a bazooka.
Tell the world this how we treat terrorists.

Then, launch and all out missile strike on his hometown and tell the world this how we treat terrorists families. You know something is going down, better speak up, Camel-breath.

[Greyfox]

This whole fiasco does not pass the "smell test."
I think that someone in Libya paid $millions under the table to British and Scottish officials to get this man back. Someone who wanted to guarantee his "silence."

and the beat goes on

TRIPOLI, Libya – The former Libyan intelligence agent convicted of the 1988 Lockerbie bombing over Scotland that killed 270 people made a rare public appearance on Tuesday at a rally in support of Muammar al-Qaddafi, a "further reminder that a great mistake was made when he was released," British Foreign Secretary William Hague said.

[Tom]

We need to re-evaluate our relationship with Britain. Might be best to avoid friends like them.

no doubt in my mind this is fact More likely it was BP who has extensive holdings in Libya to curry favor with Qaddafi. Or at least that was the speculation at the time of his release. Qaddafi at the time was threating to extort more money from BP in exchange for allowing continue drilling there. After the release, those threats stopped. You are free to draw your own conclusions.

Bingo RG....Why would anyone think that this whole Libyan thing is anything more than about "OIL"....

This terrorism crap, all along, was and still is, nothing more that a ruse to get OIL...

In fact the whole mideast War & Wars, is ALL about OIL...nothing more.. imo..

If you don't mind me asking, are you a muslim? If it's private, or you feel uncomfortable answering, that's cool.

[horses4courses]

With any luck, the curtain finally falls on this guy.
Thanks to that idiotic Scottish judge, he got his little "welcome home" performance in 2009.
What a crock......

[Robert Goren]

Does anyone actually believe that he is now again near death?

[horses4courses]

I feel that if they were going to fake his death (easily done), it would have taken place a while back.
This situation should never have come about in the first place.

You raise a valid point, though.
There will always be doubt surrounding this bastard's whereabouts.
Proof of his death will not be readily available.

[ArlJim78]

no

this guy is like Hyman Roth, dying of the same heart attack for 20 years.

I must be missing something here, so I will put it in terms I should have;

"The bastard needs to die" !

[Tom]

If they will not turn him over, we should not give them a single penny in foreign aid. When will grow a set and stand up to terrorists?

[Native Texan III]

Megrahi has not long to go now.
Ironically he was kept alive longer by new cancer drugs developed in Britain.

CNN Senior International Correspondent Nic Robertson found al Megrahi under the care of his family in his palatial Tripoli villa Sunday, surviving on oxygen and an intravenous drip.

http://edition.cnn.com/2011/WORLD/africa/08/29/libya.lockerbie.bomber/

It would seem that Gadhafi gave those who carried out the act under his orders no choice or their family members would have suffered / died. The conviction of only one of many is even in doubt.

Scottish Government do not want him back and Libya NTC won't release him.
Out of any USA jurisdiction so might as well move on and support those who (helped by the British Royal Air Force precision bombing and SAS) have lost even more in overthrowing the Gadhafi tyranny that the West once supported.

[lsbets]

CNN gets him laying in bed with oxygen. His family claims he is near death. I'm not convinced. Only the most naive among us would discount the very strong possibility that the scene was staged.

He deserves to die. By U.S. hands. Osama was outside of our jurisdiction, that did not make killing him wrong. Get some special ops guys in there and kill the sob. And since the new government won't turn him over, don't turn over the frozen assets to them.

3 years later........still kicking it

Maybe on the way out?

[lsbets]

Looks like my skepticism about him being near death a year ago was right. That scene with CNN was a set up. Shocker.

[Robert Goren]

He is "living" proof that we should never count on other countries to bring terrorists who target Americans to justice. For the life of me, I don't know what Reagan was thinking when he trusted the English to take care of him. He should have been tried in an American court and held in an American jail until he was executed by an American made electric chair.

[bigmack]

This numskull has me on iggy. Can someone ask him what Reagan had to do with anything decision where to try him?

[horses4courses]

Biggest disgrace in the UK justice system outside of a court room.

What the hell was Kenny McCaskill thinking?
When they released that murderer, it was a sad day for Scotland.

Sentenced to a minimum of 27 years, he served 8, and returns home a hero.
He deserved to die in prison.
What a shambles.....

Last report has him close to death again. So, what's new?
Glenn Miller and Amelia Earhart are still missing....... :rolleyes:

Arms deal was a secret factor to the release

GD GB

Our FF were correcting in shooting them.
We should repeat the process.

With allies like England who needs enemies.
Fitting, they just popped another little POS name George.
Time for a royal flush.

We should be reviewing our relationship with them - I see no benefit to continuing it.
